Chest Size: Order your normal chest size. If you are an odd size (43, 45, etc) order up. If you need a long or short, we only make every other size 36, 40, 44, etc.. Again, order up. (40, 44, 48 actually = M, L, XL.)

Length: We now have 3 lengths of M42 jackets. This is pretty simple-Short: 32" sleeve, or under 5' 8"Regular: 34" sleeve, 5'9"-6'1"Long: 36" sleeve, over 6'2"

If you don't know your dress shirt sleeve length, the height range will generally work. "Short" is not an insult to your manhood- it's just a measurement.Bellies: If your belly is as large or larger than your chest, order by your belly size. These jackets are tapered- meaning the waist is about 5 inches smaller than the chest on sizes 36R, 40R, and 44R. There is very little taper on the 48R and 52R.

Trousers: Order your normal waist size. All inseams are 34". Shrinkage of the inseam is about 2". Do not hem them until they have been washed! Altered garments are not returnable.
